The Hansaton Beat FS 3 R T 312 in review
Our testers have examined another hearing aid from a solid mid-price range. We present: the Hansaton Beat FS 3 R T 312. Here we have a traditional hearing aid that is worn behind the ear. It can be used by anyone looking to compensate for moderate, stronger, and changing hearing losses. The Beat FS 3 R T 312 is a discreet hearing aid. Is it worth buying this model? We will reveal the details to you.
Hearing comfort
Right from the start, we focus on the topic of hearing comfort. By this, we mean all the features that provide a pleasant, rich, and interference-free sound. In the Beat FS 3 R T 312, a solid comfort programming by the acoustician is possible.
The classic noise suppression is, of course, also present here. Its role is to detect simple sounds from the surroundings and soften them somewhat. In this Hansaton model, the effectiveness of the noise suppression is slightly above the required minimum. Nevertheless, the sounds will still be audible. Additionally, there is a really strong impulse filter that reduces all short, intense sounds as much as the customer wishes.
Wind noise is always an issue when the hearing aid microphones are a bit exposed. With the Beat FS 3 R T 312, this is not a problem at all, as it has an intelligent and effective wind noise suppression. It not only reduces the audible turbulence but also maintains speech understanding. We do miss a good spatial sound, but the automatic focus can be quite helpful in situations with multiple people. With 12 frequency bands, one can set a fairly decent sound. A passionate musician might not be completely satisfied with this, but it is entirely sufficient for normal hearing and sound needs. The signal processing of the Beat FS 3 R T 312 also utilizes artificial intelligence. This results in a far more realistic analysis of the hearing environment, and especially the clarity in noisy surroundings is significantly better.
Rating Hearing comfort: 2,5
Operation & connectivity
Occasionally, you find yourself in situations where it would be good if the hearing aid were set differently. After all, we live in hectic times where the acoustic environment often changes. Most hearing aids have specific options for adjusting the settings yourself. This is how it looks with the Beat FS 3 R T 312: Usually, there is a button on the hearing aid, and we found one on the Beat FS 3 as well. It can be configured as a volume control or program selection button, and it can also be deactivated if desired. The small remote control, which is available as an option, is very practical. For us, it is one of the most convenient ways to raise or lower the volume or switch to another hearing program. No one notices this; reaching for the ear is not necessary.
A sensible addition is the option to control the Beat FS 3 R T 312 using voice commands. This is already familiar from smartphones or navigation systems in cars, and it can also be very practical in a hearing aid. More and more functionalities are being integrated into hearing aids that we already know from other areas. In the Beat FS 3 R T 312, it is the tap control. It is enough to briefly tap the outer ear with your fingers or the flat of your hand, and a command will be triggered. This could be, for example, the start of a transmission from the TV adapter. Your hearing care professional will help you find the appropriate function.
The manual control includes an app. This allows you to discreetly access the hearing aid. In addition to volume control, you can also adjust hearing programs and a few other functions. You no longer need headphones, as it has a wireless option and can transmit sounds directly from the smartphone to your ears – provided the smartphone is equipped with 2.4 GHz LE technology.

Simplicity & security
No matter how great the hearing aid sounds: nothing is more uncomfortable than a product that constantly presents us with hurdles in everyday life. That's why simplicity and safety are very important topics in our hearing aid tests: We don't necessarily experience easy, comfortable listening with the Beat FS 3 R T 312. In a quieter daily routine, one can certainly manage, but as soon as you have a varied listening experience, you can't avoid manual adjustments. Very important to us in terms of simplicity is the support during the acclimatization process. Especially after having heard poorly for many years, it can be difficult to perceive everything at a natural volume. In our test device, there's an acclimatization manager that helps us through the adjustment phase with very small volume adjustments. After several weeks or months, we then reach the calculated amplification level.
Many hearing aids today come with a rechargeable battery, but the Beat FS 3 R T 312 still runs on disposable batteries. This is somewhat cumbersome to handle and also burdens the environment.
With an IP 68 certification, the hearing aid can withstand various adverse conditions. Dust cannot penetrate, it withstands prolonged submersion in water, and it is also protected against contact.
Rating Simplicity & security: 2,8
Extras
We all like goodies, so let's take a last look at the extras that might be hidden in the hearing aid. Are you among the tinnitus sufferers? Then you could use the optional tinnitus program in the Beat FS 3 R T 312. Quiet, gentle sounds are tailored to your hearing and engage all areas of the inner ear. It's nothing more than a distraction maneuver, and it works surprisingly well. The tinnitus fades into the general noise and no longer annoys you. This is a simple yet effective tool and earns extra points from us.
The ability for remote adjustment is something we really like. It’s very helpful when you just want to change a little something in the hearing aid settings but don’t want to drive to the hearing care professional. Instead, you make contact through the app, and the hearing professional sends back a customized data package in the same way.
Many hearing aids today still come with a few health features. However, since the Beat FS 3 R T 312 does not have any specific sensors for that, we cannot present any special features here. It would have been nice to have a few lifestyle features, but they do not exist in the Beat FS 3 R T 312. Other hearing aids may stand out with speech translators or fall alarms, but here it remains within the usual range of functions.
Rating Extras: 2,5
